Moncur). worked across the ceiiIre in a pretty design representing ihc Union Jack, supplanted with nikau fronds and bush greenery formed into arches, upon which many col ucJ lights were suspended, giving the hall quite an arbour effect. Many townspeople made the trip by motor from both Taux-anga and Tc Puke. The floor was in splendid order, whilst the music was in the capable hands of Mrs Reid (piano) and Messrs Alf Fox, L. Harris and J. Stale (accordcon), the last-men-tioned making also an efficient master of ceremonies. Dancing was the order ol (lie evening and card tables were provided for those so inclined.
